IP address information
The default IP address for the Ethernet interface in the machine floor LAN is
192.168.1.111
(see device label).
The IP address of the web server in the common LAN is configured per default via DHCP. Depending on the
configuration of your local DHCP and DNS servers, it is possible to reach the device by this host name in your
network.
The dataFEED Gateway supports the network connection protocol UPnP (
Universal Plug And Play)
for
Windows 10. The operating systems MAC, Linux and Android use Avahi/Zeroconf, the
Zero Configuration
network implementation protocol which identifies the gateway as an HTTPs server.
How to establish an IP connection to the web server of the dataFEED Gateway
Your network has a DHCP and DNS server
Your network does not have a DHCP and DNS server
1.
Connect the upper Ethernet socket (
IT
) to your
network.
2.
Read the last 4 digits/letters of the dataFEED
Gateway serial number (in the lower left part of
the label
).
The host name of the device is
uaGate / edgeGate
followed by the last 4 digits/
letters of the serial number. For example, if the
serial number is
123456789ab
, the host name is
uagate89ab
or
edgegate89ab
.

The dataFEED Gateway supports the HTTPs protocol, which provides a secure and encrypted transfer of
sensitive data such as passwords so the data cannot be read by another network user. In addition, HTTPs
uses a certificate to identify the server. At Softing, we use the OPC UA Server certificate that has been
generated before the last reboot.
